Members of some diaspora communities call for Canada to break ties to Crown

Some Canadians from diaspora communities called for the country’s independence from the Crown on Friday, saying the death of the Queen is a chance to rethink its ties to the monarchy.

More than 50 countries with historical links to Britain are part of the Commonwealth, which Queen Elizabeth II was head of throughout her reign. Her death Thursday came as a growing number of nations debate their relationship with the British Crown amid demands that the country apologize for its colonial-era abuses and award its former colonies slavery reparations.

Fauci’s direct line to Zuck proves Facebook COVID censorship was all about power, not public health

The ugly picture of collusion between the feds and social media platforms around COVID just got a whole lot uglier.

Recent filings from a lawsuit by the Louisiana and Missouri attorneys general against the Biden administration reveal that Facebook head Mark Zuckerberg gave Dr. Anthony Fauci his personal phone number shortly before the platform started to crack down on alleged COVID misinformation.

Team Putin Admits Their Worst Case Scenario Is Coming True

In the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Kremlin’s top propagandists predicted a swift victory and derided the Ukrainian military as an unwilling bunch of incompetents. As the war dragged on, they continued to claim that Volodymyr Zelensky’s government was about to fall. Faced with Ukraine’s mounting counteroffensive, which is rapidly achieving impressive gains, Russian propagandists are now describing an enormous horde, armed with the best Western weaponry and swimming in foreign specialists.

Sweden’s radical right comes in from the cold to threaten the old order

The Swedish party’s mission statement makes glowing references to Benjamin Disraeli and his vision of One Nation conservatism.

Most of its policies, from the deportation of foreign criminals to mandatory language exams for immigrants who wish to settle, would hardly look out of place in a more modern Tory manifesto.

Its leader, usually dressed in a blazer and slightly hipsterish spectacles, is earnest, plausible and softly spoken, less Roderick Spode than a minor character from a Richard Curtis film.

Swedish Police in Decline

 

… The daily newspaper Aftonbladet has the details on what the deteriorating quality looks like. One police student tried to fill up the police car by adding gasoline where the windshield exhaust fluid goes.

In This High School, Kids Learn That Republicans and Christians Are Fascists

In Gavin Newsom’s California, the kids have a leg up on those in the rest of the country, because the Golden State has the coolest, hippest teachers. In San Juan Hills High School in San Juan Capistrano, Calif., teacher Danielle “Flint” Serio has an entire “queer library” in her classroom. And down the road at Madison High School in San Diego, a teacher has defined “fascist” with words including “Trump,” “white,” “Christian,” and “heterosexual.” The Republican Party, this sage wrote on his classroom whiteboard, “is a fascist organization that no longer fits the category of a conventional Democratic Party.” It’s not just the broad-brush slander. It’s the historical illiteracy. Our schools are turning out a generation of indoctrinated imbeciles. That appears to be the goal, in fact.
